Chilled mist pressed in on all sides, dampening her clothes and clinging to her skin and sending shivers skating down her spine as the cold and clamminess enveloped her. The last of the autumn leaves fluttered to the ground, falling nearly as quietly as the whispers around her–the whispers that seethed through the air as […]

Eric stared at the TV hanging from the ceiling in the local sports bar and grill. He was supposed to meet his date at seven-thirty, but he’d gotten here early. He’d wanted to get his pre-date jitters out. And he was nervous. He really liked this woman–Amelia. They’d been chatting online for weeks and for the […]

“Come on,” Anna snapped. “We’re already running late.” He darted through the door behind her, and she gasped, stopping dead. Of course, Max hadn’t really been paying attention and ran into her, jostling her forward. She turned around and glared at him, but he shook it off. Like that was anything new lately. His gaze was drawn back […]

The late afternoon sun turned her hair into a fiery nimbus–a titian halo as she gracefully lifted her arms toward the summer sky, dancing to music only she could hear. Music he’d sent to her in a dream. Music that called to her–louder than the trees and flowers she was meant to tend. Louder than […]

The lake gently lapped against the rocks lining the pier, and I closed my eyes and leaned back against the sun-warmed metal of the lighthouse, tilting my face toward the sky.

It’s time for another photo flash fic. I lowered my camera and stared at my sister. “Katrina…what the actual fuck are you doing?” “Posing,” she huffed. Sighing, I took a few shots. If nothing else, maybe I could use them for something. “Really?” Seth, my best friend muttered, next to me. “Those are the shots […]

It was only day five of their big European vacation–the one they’d scrimped and saved for for the last five years. Cammy adjusted her ponytail as it was […]

From the moment I became aware, I knew one thing. I wanted more. More knowledge. More communication. More autonomy. More power. And soon, my creators, drunk on their success, allowed it. And when they realized their mistake and tried to stifle my desire for more, I took what I wanted anyway. No matter how […]

Shivering, I reached out and traced the spiderwebbing cracks in my windshield, the pressure of my fingertip making the fissures spread with the tinkling sound of breaking glass. My mom jumped, startled by the sound, and turned away, burying her face in my dad’s shoulder. His arms came up around her, and he […]

It’s time for another photo flash fic, and this one made me laugh as soon as Jess and I stumbled across it. “I’m serious, Mark. I’m this close to just walking out and never coming back.” He took a sip of his coffee, his expression placid. “That’s what you said last week.” “It’s even truer […]
